Moto Hell - The Motorola Modding Community

hey I AM SO TOTALLY PISSED ):

I went to an authorised motorola technician to fix my d-pad (Refer to my previous thread). He claimed that my KEYPAD had to change along with my D-PAD. He first quoted me $25, which was kinda okay. Then he raised it to $70 because he quoted wrongly. After that I received a call telling me I NEED TO PAY NINETY BUCKS TO FIX MY ^&*()( PHONE!

Rip-off. I'm going to another unauthorized technician to see if he can fix it at a cheaper rate. I'm just afraid that he steals my phone or changes the hardware or something.

If this doesn't work I may leave E2 Modding. Please help me if you know how to fix d-pad DIY or a place where I can fix it cheaply.

Thanks in advance :/

Crap thats ekspensive :( (sori me keipad no. Nine also broken)
hmm does anione has tutorial?
Tq

I'm going to send mine for fixing tomorrow(if it is not too expensive),wish me luck.....

u know man, shit happens. Ur keypad may got broken for several reasons: too much playing (it's a cellphone, not a gba...), water, bad luck, etc...
U make it sound like it were our fault.... but it's not.
I hope you get your cellphone fixed soon.

Wow, what did you guys do to your phone? LOL

My phone is still in nice condition with the keypads fully intact and working.

I play lots of games and now my keypad is not responsive anymore lol...

@konspirasi
open E2 case and remove the dust under keypad.. this guide should help me.. i think it may help u too..

i breaks mine because i play too much with the SNES emulator....Donkey Kong breaks it......

yeah... that's the new generation of hardware - they don't make anything bullet proof. For comparison my cousin still smacks down an old Siemens ME45 of playing the build in crappy games (Tetris I think) and it do not want to die :)

well, tetris need less keypresses than DK or SuperMario, for example :P

@sjj: we couldn't expect less from the GAME MASTA xD

Erm..

I don't really play games on my computer. I suspect it is vapour and extreme temperatures as my phone went to 3 degrees C in Australia.

Other than that I don't see what's wrong. But for now Starhub (service provider) is offering me a new phone, the SE Walkman. If things don't work out well, goodbye moto =(

the problem is D-Pad easily broken.... my c650 got it too even i'm not hardcore gamers...
hope my e2 wont get this problem

I have a little bit of wear on my control stick, mostly form pushing down all the time.  If I get to use volume up/down to navigate around I do when possible (especially scrolling through songs with stock mplayer)

You still have to be careful with the volume key,i use it to scroll a lot and now it is now responding very well....

well i just repaired my keypad just like rauna said...its working, i just expose my E2 to the sun after open it and blow air to it. its because the keypad still has water under the pad, if i only cleaned it just not working.
but i asked service center the price for keypad is about US$26
Thx rauna

I was quoted 60bucks by unauthorised dealer.......
....which is far more expensive than to have a new plan -.-
